tablesorter (FORK) is a jQuery plugin for turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table without page refreshes.
tablesorter can successfully parse and sort many types of data including linked data in a cell. This forked version adds lots of new enhancements including: alphanumeric sorting, pager callback functons, multiple widgets providing column styling, ui theme application, sticky headers, column filters and resizer, as well as extended documentation with a lot more demos.

### Notice!

* Because of the change to the internal cache, the tablesorter v2.16+ core, filter widget and pager (both plugin & widget) will only work with the same version or newer files.

### [Documentation](//mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/)

* See the [full documentation](//mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/).
* All of the [original document pages](//tablesorter.com/docs/) have been included.
* Information from my blog post on [undocumented options](//wowmotty.blogspot.com/2011/06/jquery-tablesorter-missing-docs.html) and lots of new demos have also been included.
* Change log moved from included text file into the [wiki documentation](//github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/wiki/Changes).

### Demos
